We got a great start to our week Monday morning when we managed to get out the door to school leaving behind 2 out of 3 of the kids' backpacks. Later that day, I shut my car door and the window rolled itself down and wouldn't roll back up. Thankfully, it wasn't too hot. I got Vic to put a garbage bag over it during the night so the raccoon didn't move in.

Tuesday morning I got all the kids out the door right on time and with all three backpacks. I ripped the garbage bag off the door, and loaded all the kids in only to find out my battery was dead. So, Grammy gave the kids a ride to school and Grampy came over to jump off my battery. So, I spent the day riding around with the window down but glad that the van was running. I also got to help in Jamie's classroom, which was fun. I am going to get to be the center time helper every Tuesday from now on. :)

Today I dropped the kids off for school successfully! Then I signed Caleb up for gymnastics and took my van to the shop to get the window repaired before the rain arrives. Then I spent a very quiet day at home. Just me and the laundry. The maid was also here to keep me company for the morning. Grammy delivered Caleb and later Jamie and took Carson home to her house.

Jamie has made fast friends with the little girl who moved in down the street. Tonight she went over there for dinner. At one point she showed up at home again "Hi mom, I forgot to wear underwear. Just here for some underwear." Well, at least she remembered. She came home and told me she had some chicken with some sauce that looked like blood and a half of cookie that had paper inside of it. So, I guess she was treated to Chinese food. I hope she kept her thoughts about the sauce to herself. She's not very good at keeping her thoughts to herself, though. :)
